Hmmmm......then why isn't there an investigation into how Debbie Wasserman Schultz snadbagged Bernie Sanders in the Democrat primary?

Why no special prosocuter being appointed to compile charges aginst Donna Brazil for using her position at CNN to hand Hillary the debate questions ?

Or is it just a crime when Republicans do something that you think constitutes interference?
Whoo-boy, another poster who needs to look up the words "foreign interests." Go on, FatBob, go look it up. We'll wait.

The parties are private entities. They aren't the government.

That's something you should have learned in high school civics.

One more thing that seems to be missed in this is the fact that the moment the Donald jr. included Manafort and Jarred and the three of them set up the meeting( they didn't need to attend, just set it up) they committed a conspiracy to commit a crime. Just one of those added charges prosecutors love to tack on to any indictment.

Here's the deal. It doesn't matter if it's a crime or not. Nothing is going to happen to Donald Trump. Jared? I'm not so sure.


But Republicans hold all the power and as long as DJT is willing to sign bills that cut taxes for the 1% - Mitch and Ryan gonna make sure he stays in office.

Obama got all kinda dirt on McCain from very high level foreign governments. Obama had the NSA listening to everything Romney and had all his IRS records to comb through. It does not matter who or where it is obtained, because wiretapping and gathering intelligence and spying is now legal. If it were not, so many people in both parties would be doing the perp walk.
I'm no expert, but my sense is that your statement is very half-baked.

First, just because Trump says it doesn't matter doesn't mean it's true.

Second, I've never heard anything about Obama employing the NSA to spy on Romney. Feel free to link to any reputable sources, but I think that's a fantasy.

Third, just because things like wiretapping are legal for SOME people in SOME circumstances doesn't mean it's an option for everyone.

Bob, you understand that, while slimy and devious, the Bernie Sanders sandbagging isn't covered under the Federal Election Campaign Act because the Democratic Party's presidential candidate nomination process isn't a federal election, don't you?

What's the difference?

Interference is interference.

If you attempt to prevent me from voting, it doesn't matter if you're an American or a Russian.

Your hatred and contempt for Trump is making you see goblins in the night.

I see. So it would be criminal if Hillary did it, but since it was Trump who did it, he's as pure as a new fallen snowflake.

*snort*

Fail!
